Join us Monday, Nov 7 @ThreeNotchdBeer in Charlottesville where we'll have talks by @UVaAstro astronomers (see thread), fun trivia, and telescope observing afterwards. Check out fb.me/e/2RVNJ70qt or aotville.com for more info #aotville
2. The sports term rookies, was derived from the rook in chess. Rooks, same as Rookie players, are the last to be moved into action.
I chatted with @UVA Today about the upcoming Artemis moon mission. Check it out! news.virginia.edu/content/astron…
Pretty wild comparison between Webb and Hubble from @NASAWebb. This is the Carina Nebula.
One of the most gorgeous Astronomy images I've ever seen

We finally have the first look at our Milky Way black hole, Sagittarius A*. It’s the dawn of a new era of black hole physics. Credit: EHT Collaboration. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Link: eventhorizontelescope.org/blog/astronome…
You know his name, now discover his story. On June 17, see Disney and Pixar’s #Lightyear, only in theaters.
The violent eruption a few hours ago of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano captured by satellites GOES-West and Himawari-8.
#NASAWebb is fully deployed! 🎉 With the successful deployment & latching of our last mirror wing, that's: 50 major deployments, complete. 178 pins, released. 20+ years of work, realized. Next to #UnfoldTheUniverse: traveling out to our orbital destination of Lagrange point 2!
Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse
LIVE NOW: Watch @NASAWebb, the world’s most powerful space telescope, launch on a mission to #UnfoldTheUniverse. 🚀 With its 7:20am ET (12:20 UTC) liftoff, Webb will usher in a new era of astronomy. Have questions? Drop them below. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Our next event is set for Dec 13th! You can register for free at bit.ly/AoTCville16 We have talks by @UVaAstro professor Ed Murphy on Astronomical Explanations for the Star of Bethlehem and grad student Daniel Lin (@LinDanielZheYu) on planet formation! See you there!
